Progeria (rapid premature aging) affects less than 100 people worldwide

LEWISBURG, Pa. – April 6, 2018— Threading Love, the apparel store at 419 Market Street in Lewisburg is hosting the authors of the heart-tugging book “A Short Season” about the life and travails of young Josiah Viera, who is battling progeria.

In A Short Season: Faith, Family, and a Boy’s Love for Baseball, Dave Bohner, the story’s narrator and Grandfather to Josiah, and Jake Gronsky, former professional baseball player with the St. Louis Cardinals organization, tell the powerful story of Josiah Viera’s fight for life that not only sparked a family’s journey towards healing but inspired a generation of baseball players from one of the most historic organizations in Major League Baseball.

“Josiah has a passion for baseball that transcends the sport. His story has inspired millions, and this book will impact everyone who reads it.”

– Ben Houser, Senior Producer ESPN E:60
